Cat 277c Hydraulic Accumulator Precharge Pressure

[Cmark]

Accumulator charge pressure is dependent on the application. That particular accumulator is used in multiple different machines and each will specify a different pressure.
I say 130 psi.

Thinking out loud - I wonder if someone at the dealer had replaced an excavator pilot accumulator recently and instead of looking up the precharge pressure spec based on your JWF Serial Number simply assumed it would be the same pressure that the excavator accumulator used.?

I think your right!!!

Lazy bar stewards if that was the case then. It only takes max 2 minutes to look it up.

Yea, I may just order the recharge valve and relieve the pressure myself. I don’t trust the dealer to do the right thing if I go back a 3rd time.

Make sure you're sitting down when you ask the price........
